TimerBeats
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make practice fun for your kids when playing piano, guitar or any other instrument, using this combined timer and metronome. Set the total practice time, start and watch the remaining time decrease, like a game. When the practice is paused, the remaining time is increased, encouraging short pauses. The metronome can sound like percussion sounds or a counting voice. It can also change the color of an on-screen component to indicate beats. TimerBeats can be used for other types of practice as well, where pauses can be frequent and short, like sports and studying. You can select another language if you enable Show Language Button in the Settings of the TimerBeats app. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
